Frozen Sunset

Posted by Russ Devan (New Hanover, United States) on 26 December 2008 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.

Another image made on the winter solstice as the sun set over the Schuylkill River valley, not far from New Hanover.

I hope everyone had a peaceful and joyous Christmas yesterday.

"The Master in the art of living makes little distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his education and his recreation, his love and his religion. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence in whatever he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing. To him he is always doing both."
- Zen Buddhist Text

Very beautiful image. It must be cold there but the hues are so pleasantly warm. "Tabacco" filter used? Looks great.
